Scope of supply
The scope of supply of every ekinex
®
presence detector includes the device, a lens complete with a frame, a
KNX standard plug for the connection with the KNX bus, and a set of fixing screws. No additionally ordered
part is required.
The ETS application program can be downloaded from the ekinex
®
website www.ekinex.com.
In case of need (e.g. for replacement of broken parts), the device and the lens / frame assemblies can be
supplied separately; their codes are listed in the following table.

2.3
Operation
The presence detector reacts to the thermal radiation emitted by moving bodies. A person that crosses the
monitored area automatically activates the lighting. As soon as the sensor does no longer detect any
movement, a delay is started (whose duration is configured through ETS) after which the lighting is switched
off.
If the standby mode is active, the lighting is maintained at a lower brightness level as an orientation light for
the length of the configured standby time.
2.4
Light intensity measurement
The ambient light intensity is measured by an integrated brightness sensor having a linear output profile and
an additional filter matched to the human visual sensitivity.
The light sensor is capable of sending a binary telegram (On or Off) to signal a light intensity level which is
higher or lower than a configured threshold value, regardless to the operation mode. The measured
brightness level in Lux units can further be transmitted on the KNX bus.
2.5
Lighting channel
Two operating modes can be chosen for the lighting channel during the configuration phase:
•
fully automatic
•
semi
-
automatic
The fully automatic mode has three different states, i.e.
ready
,
active
and
passive
, whereas the semi
-
automatic mode only has the
ready
and
active
states. In semi
-
automatic mode, the lighting is not activated
after the detection of a movement, but only after pressing an external pushbutton.
2.6
HVAC Channel
The HVAC channel has the same operating modes and communication objects as the lighting channel; the
detection of movement and presence is enhanced though, introducing the “long duration” principle. The
detection is based on several time windows (from 2 up to 20) of equal width; in every one of these windows
at least one movement must be detected in order to yield a positive response.
